“Senior Iranian commanders” and a senior associate from the Hezbollah movement have been engaged in an effort to create a secret precision guard missile program in Lebanon, the Israel Defence Forces have announced, citing intelligence data.

In a press conference on Thursday, IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus alleged that three Iranian officers from the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, including one Brig. Gen. Muhammad Hussein-Zada Hejazi, one col. Majid Nuab and one Brig. Gen. Ali Asrar Nuruzi, were involved in the secret project. According to the IDF, these Iranian officers were based “inside Lebanon, leading Hezbollah’s precision guided missile project in order to attack Israel.”

The three alleged Iranians are said to be under the command of Gen. Qassem Suleimani, the Revolutionary Guards Quds Force Commander believed to have engaged heavily in providing Iranian support to Syria and Iraq in their fight against the Daesh (ISIS)* terrorists in recent years.

Fuad Shukr, an advisor to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, is said to be the key Hezbollah commander involved in the missile project.

The IDF alleges that Iran had tried to transfer precision guided missiles to Hezbollah through Syria in 2013 and 2014, but was largely stopped by Israeli air strikes. Since 2016, the IDF says, Hezbollah and Iran have moved forward with another effort – converting Hezbollah’s existing and substantial stocks of rockets into precision-guided missiles.

Conricus did not address whether the above-mentioned individuals should fear for their security, saying only that if he were “any of these terrorists, I probably wouldn’t be too happy to be named and shamed.”

In a video posted alongside Conricus’ presentation on the IDF’s Twitter account, the military warned that “if terror groups get access to precision guided missiles, they’ll be able to remotely attack any target of their choice.” The Israeli military wouldn’t “let Hezbollah get their hands on these weapons” under any circumstances, the video warned.

Hezbollah the ‘Main Enemy’

Iranian officials and representatives of Hezbollah have yet to comment on the IDF’s allegations. According to Conricus, Israel was releasing this information now in a bid to force Beirut and the international community to act.

“Iran is endangering Lebanese [security] by trying to produce precision-guided missiles on Lebanese soil, using the Lebanese people as human shields,” the IDF spokesman said. “In our point of view, the Lebanese government is completely responsible for what is happening on Lebanese soil,” he stressed. Conricus also noted that Israel considers Hezbollah as its “main enemy,” while the Lebanese military is its “potential enemy.”

According to the IDF, in spite of Iranian support, Hezbollah has not yet gained the industrial-grade capability to produce high-precision missiles.

Damage and glass from broken windows is seen inside Hezbollah media center after an Israeli drone fell in the Hezbollah-dominated southern suburbs and a second one exploded near the ground in Dahiyeh suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon August 25, 2019.

Week of Escalation

Earlier this week, Hezbollah threatened to retaliate to the series of confirmed Israeli airstrikes near Damascus, and to the alleged Israeli drone attacks on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut on Saturday night. Israel justified the Syria attack citing the alleged threat of a “pending large-scale attack” by Iranian forces on targets inside Israel. The IDF has yet to confirm whether the two drones that went down in Saturday night’s operation in Beirut belonged to Israel. Lebanon called the drone operations an “attack” on the country’s sovereignty.

In the wake of the drone attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hezbollah’s leaders, and officials from both Iran and Lebanon, should be “careful of what they say,” stressing that Israel had the ability “to defend itself and to pay back its enemies.” The statement followed a warning by the Iranian government that Tel Aviv would face “grave consequences” if it continued its suspected wave of attacks across Syria, Lebanon and Iraq.

Israel and Hezbollah last clashed in Lebanon in 2006, with Israeli troops invading the Mediterranean country after the militant group kidnapped two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid. The conflict claimed the lives of over 1,300 people, and caused billions of dollars in damage to Lebanon’s infrastructure. The war was halted by a UN-brokered ceasefire.

Israel has repeatedly accused Iran of sponsoring anti-Israeli proxy campaigns in the region, including in Lebanon and Syria, and has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria in recent years. Iran has denied the claims. Relations between the two countries have been poor for decades.

lol more bluffing from these filthy parasitic jews… Hezbollah said year ago that they posses guide misiles and this idiotic kíke is revealing something we already know.. it would’ve been better to just say “we are the only terrorist allowed to have these weapons so we can keep killing women and children’s”.

Well said, the Zionist cowards can only beat up unarmed Palestinians and are now running scared that either Iran or Hezbollah will finally and rightfully retaliate. Zionists are criminals and weaker than a spiders web.

7 thumbdowners don’t like Dalal Mughrabi, thus, Palestinian Authority named many schools, squares or sports complexes in honour of this monster who assassinated children on the behalf of PLO. I’m surprised to see thumbdowning about her.

•Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam. •Kitman: deceit by omission. •Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity. •Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia). •Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden). •Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear “moderate.” As a result, Muslim feel ‘good’ when they lie to the DIRTY KUFAAR.”

Taqiyya (Shiit), Muda’rat (Sunni), Kitman, Tawriya, Taysir, Darura, Muruna are not Zionist concepts. In Judaism/Christianity, every lie is seen as from Satan, obviously, not in Islam. For Christians, Muhammad is the false-prophet announced by Jesus.

but Israeli ballistic missiles are not really “conventional”. A Jericho-3 w. 3x W59 on Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan would mean 4.5M immediate death and the double under 3 weeks, it’s a little too much, unlike the Islamic “Republic”, Israel doesn’t wants to make a holocaust, they just want peace.

A repeat of the 2006 war with precision guided missiles thrown into the equation this time would be interesting wouldn’t it, it was concluded by a consensus of military analysts that the 2006 war was either a draw or stalemate when it ended, so the next one fought with guided missiles instead of dumb rockets should be way more interesting than that one.

+++ “war was either a draw or stalemate” => UNSC ordered, after Nasrallah begged them, to stop the onslaught and that he would accept to disarm Hezbuttocks…Kill ratio was about 13-14:1 if I remember well, smth like 169 dead vs.2,200… There were no Iron-Dome, Iron-Beam, David’s Sling, Arrow-2, Arrow-3, THAAD, Patriot PAAC-4 in 2006 too…And many others toys too. In 2006, near all the “big” rocket launchers were blown before launch and the few TELs which managed to launch weren’t usable for a 2nd launch.

The problem for Hezbollah is they also lost a LOT of manpower, their finances are at an all time low, their weapons stockpiles have been depleted by hundreds of air strikes, now they have donation boxes in shops in Lebanon, their leader is hiding in a bunker, salaries have been divided by 2, social services are gone and they’re bragging too much to be credible. They may blackmail Lebanon with a civil war while except Geagea, all the Lebanese politicians are afraid to speak since they even assassinated late PM Rafiq Hariri, everybody knows Nasrallah is a traitor who sold… Read more »
